NAB raids residence of Sindh CM’s adviser Aijaz Jakhrani

KARACHI: A National Accountability Bureau team raided the residence of Sindh chief minister Adviser on Prisons Aijaz Hussain Jakhrani in Karachi on Tuesday night.

Jakhrani is accused of possessing assets disproportionate to his declared sources of income.

According to details, rangers and police assisted the accountability watchdog during their raid.

A large number of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) workers and leaders, including Provincial Minister of Sindh for Local Government Saeed Ghani, reached Jakhrani’s residence after getting information about the raid.

When Ghani was stopped from entering the premises, he started protesting outside the house. He said the nature of the bust was as if it was a raid on the house of a terrorist.

Sources said, the NAB team conducted the raid for a few hours at the PPP leader’s house and then took files from his residence.
